Synopsis: The Disabled Airport Guide is aimed at helping people with disability while traveling through airports. The free guide covers a wide range of accessibility issues and concerns within airports which currently affect disabled travelers and also users with restricted mobility. We have created this guide to help relieve some of the stress and worry for disabled people using airports. We regularly get emails about wheelchair access and other related questions therefore it made sense to collate all this information and to produce an easily accessible document which contains everything.
